Is there a way to just have an package refer to bits already unpaxed? The idea here is that on the installation disc, there's a full installation that you can drag-n-drop, but if you really want to, you can run the installer. I'd prefer not to have to duplicate the data (one full set + one compressed set), but rather just have the installer refer to the files already layed out on the CD. Yes, this is possible. The BaseSystem.pkg on the InstallCD/DVD uses this method. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
